National Guard stood ready if called, with Red Cross and OES planning shelters at Princeton and Bluefield if outages worsen.

Winter Snow Advisory Cautions Travel and Road Crew Prep
With heavy snow on the ground residents are urged not to travel unless necessary. Motorists stranded pose danger and hinder snow removal crews who prioritize primary roads and abrasives. Crews are operating 24 hours, aiming to keep roads passable as accumulations rise, with secondary streets addressed based on total snowfall and storm unpredictability.

Twelve checks totaling 5533 were payable to cash, with no receipts or invoices. Memos existed for the checks but several lacked stubs and one memo conflicted with the check.
